Van Dyck at the Ducal Palace, the irresistible allure of the compilation

Roughly the same reasoning that Giuliano Briganti made for Rubens applies to Van Dyck: given the vastness of his catalog, an exhibition entitled simply "Van Dyck" is unfeasible. It matters little whether one attaches to it, as was done for the exhibi...
